But there’s a reason.
There’s a reason.
There’s a reason for this,
there’s a reason education SUCKS,
and it’s the same reason it will never,
ever, EVER be fixed.
It’s never going to get any better,
don’t look for it,
be happy with what you’ve got.
Because the owners,
the owners of this country don't want that.
I'm talking about the real owners now,
the BIG owners!
The Wealthy… the REAL owners!
The big wealthy business interests
that control things and make all
the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't.
You have no choice!
You have OWNERS!
They OWN YOU.
They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own and control the corporations.
They’ve long since bought,
and paid for the Senate,
the Congress,
the state houses,
the city halls,
they got the judges in their back pockets
and they own all the big media companies,
so they control just about all of the news
and information you get to hear.
They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars
every year lobbying,
lobbying to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want.
They want more for themselves
and less for everybody else,
but I'll tell you what they don’t want:
They don’t want a population of citizens
capable of critical thinking.
They don’t want well informed,
well educated people capable of critical thinking.
They’re not interested in that.
That doesn’t help them.
That's against their interests.
That's right.
They don’t want people
who are smart enough
to sit around a kitchen table
and think about
how badly they’re getting fucked
by a system that threw them overboard
30 fucking years ago.
They don’t want that!
You know what they want?
They want obedient workers.
Obedient workers,
people who are just smart enough
to run the machines
and do the paperwork.
And just dumb enough to passively accept
all these increasingly shitty jobs
with the lower pay,
the longer hours,
the reduced benefits,
the end of overtime
and vanishing pension that disappears
the minute you go to collect it,
and now they’re coming
for your Social Security money....
They want your retirement money.
They want it back so they can give it
to their criminal friends on Wall Street,
and you know something?
They’ll get it.
They’ll get it all from you sooner or later
because they own this fucking place!
It's a big club, and you ain’t in it!
You, and I, are not in the big club.
By the way,
it's the same big club
they use to beat you over the head
with all day long
when they tell you what to believe.
All day long
beating you over the head
with their media telling you
what to believe,
what to think and what to buy.
The table has tilted folks.
The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care!
Good honest hard-working people;
white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter
what color shirt you have on.
Good honest hard-working people continue,
these are people of modest means,
continue to elect these rich cock suckers
who don’t give a fuck about you….
they don’t give a fuck about you…
they don’t give a FUCK about you.
They don’t care about you at all…
at all… AT ALL.
And nobody seems to notice.
Nobody seems to care.
That's what the owners count on.
The fact that Americans will probably
remain willfully ignorant
of the big red, white and blue dick
that's being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth.
It's called the American Dream,
because you have to be asleep to believe it.

La Verdad.
Si que existe la Verdad.
Y la Verdad es Siempre un Acto Revolucionario,
venga de quíen venga,
denuncie lo que denuncie,
con la sintaxis y gramatica que se quiera...
Porque todos tenemos
un instinto atávico para detectarla,
todos sabemos cuándo estamos frente a ella
y cuándo nos la han robado.
Por eso la Verdad siempre es revolucionaria:
porque decanta en todos nosotros
ese punto en común que todos poseemos:
ese instinto atávico que tenemos
para saber que estamos frente a ella.
Y en ésto nos ha hermanado
George Carlin alrededor
de la verdad de sus palabras.
